There is some discussion of this topic in the comments section of this blog entry over at Doug's house. There wasn't room there for me to really engage the question, so I thought I'd do it here:
Does liking Wings make you Gay?
No.

Well, some gay people do like Wings.
ReplyDeleteCorrelation is not causation.
ReplyDeleteYes, but not all of them are bad people.
ReplyDeleteThe members of Wings, I mean.
I think that the answer is "Probably not."
ReplyDeleteOn the causation vs. correlation thing, though, to be fair, the use of "make" here means "indicate with certainty [that you are gay]" rather than "cause [you to be gay]."
Heck, by the "cause" definition of "make," the correct answer to the question "Does gleefully fellating guys for your homosexual pleasure make you gay?" would also be, "No."
Which reminds me of the koanic answer to the question "How do you know if your roommate is gay?" --> "His penis tastes like a guy's ass."
Actually, I was kind of leaning on both meanings of "make". I could have said something like "does exposure to Wings cause straight people to become gay?"
ReplyDeleteHowever, that's no fun precisely because there's no double-entendre.
